Salwan Momika, an Iraqi refugee who burst onto the scene after publicly burning the Koran in Sweden last year, intends to do it again, according to Arutz 14.

On his X account he tweeted earlier today (Monday): "On the occasion of Marine Le Pen's victory, I will soon burn the Koran in France in front of the Muslims."

Momika is known as one of the biggest critics of Islam and was responsible for a series of demonstrations against the Muslim religion in Sweden, where he immigrated about 6 years ago and received Swedish citizenship, during which he set fire to a Koran under the auspices of the Swedish police who approved it.

"This is a book that should be banned worldwide because it endangers democracy, human values ​​and human rights," he said. The burning of the Koran created an acute crisis between Sweden and the Muslim world and later Sweden tried to keep him out of the country but without success.
